BYU Wins and 24 Miles

Good morning my loves!! I am out attempting a 24 miler, get excited for some awesome pics.

Us crazy Utah Bloggers (Megan, Ashley and Julia) hit up happy hour at Yogurtland:) Yep, my friends are gorgeous and I did crop my arm off because it resembled a long marshmallow (hopefully I am getting some rays out on the run today).

I don’t even know what happened with this bowl of ice cream. I think I got a sugar buzz from sampling a million flavors and next thing I knew it I was at the cash register with EVERY single topping they offered in my cup. It was the best cup of yogurt I have ever had. Be prepared for a full-on review of my new FAVORITE yogurt joint.

We ended up watching BYU beat some team (I honestly can’t remember) and I made a delicious/super easy dinner for Billy and I at my parents house. This would be a grilled cheese, chicken, sourdough sandwich. Plus 87 wife points for this work of art.

Off for my LONG RUN…..I am kind of scared of this one for some reason. Pain is temporary, quitting is forever.

———————————————————————-

Anyone done a bracket for March Madness? Who are you routing for?

-BYU ALL THE WAY.

Do you like sourdough bread?

-I didn’t used to as a kid but now I LOVE it…..especially when the crust is super crunch and the inside is doughy!

What food do you make that scores you husband/wife/bf/gf/fiancee points?

Hope you rock the 24 miler!I love making my bracket, but this year, I haven't paid attention as much. I went to Villanova for 2 years before transferring, so it was always awesome seeing them in March Madness, especially when they went to the Final Four. The bball games were huge and SO fun to watch live.I win major points with breakfast in bed & coffee. Always coffee.My Sat. workout was supposed to be a $5 yoga class, but I slept in too late. Oops!

Good luck on your 24 miler! I am running my first 20 mile run today, I am a bit nervous about it. But I am looking forward to an ice bath then watching a rugby game tonight. Can't wait to hear how your 24 miler goes.

Yogurtland is by FAR my favorite DIY fro yo place…the flavors, the toppings…yum! They don't have any here in NYC but I make it a #1 priority to go whenever I travel to CA, they're all over the place. Looks like great fuel for your 24 miler- good luck!

it's a 2nd rest day before my 10 or 11 tomorrow morning. I had to order Brighit's special medical food formula, and it's the beginning of our insurance year so I was told I would have to pay one price, our deductible, and than when I ordered they told me the usual price we have to pay so I am hoping it's the lesser so there is money in the bank to drag my littles to a running store while the hubby is at work….it will be a challenge if we get to go!

Not a March Madness fan but cheering for Utah State just for my friend who is. I get wife points when I don't cook (just kidding). Sad to say that after 18 years of marriage I don't know what food I cook for my husband that he loves. I have some work to do. Now that I'm back to training for a half I do my long runs on Sat. I ran with some friends for the first time and the 7+ miles went by in no time. I have to say I'm a little jealous of your blogger meet up. I am a little obsessive about Muncher Cruncher.

Your froyo looks amaaazing!! I love it when you can make a million fro + topping combinations with every bite. Bravo, bravo.

I'm running 10 miles today…the longest I've ever run EVER. (I'm training for my first 1/2 in April eeee!!) I am terrified but the thought of a nice long mani/pedi with extra foot/leg massaging will get me through.

LOVE sourdough bread as well. It sounds funny but the word "sourdough" in general reminds me of the Gold Rush in the Yukon/Alaska in the late 1800s. I grew up "up there" and it's such a huge part of the culture! Can't wait to hear about your 24 miles!!

Maria

Wow you are a bunch of stunning ladies :)I love sourdough bread- the bestest has to be from boudins in san fransicso- one of the main reasons I want to go back there!Any sort of cookies gets me points with Andy :)I bet you will rock your 24 miler

Mara...

Good luck on your run today!!! I hope you kick it's butt. :-) I make major wifey points by baking for my hubbie (and my family!!). This morning it was peanut butter chocolate chip banana pancakes. I have points in the bank after that breakfast.

And I LOVE sourdough!! Grilled cheese sandwiches just don't happen without sourdough.

saw you on your run… yes we were at a stoplight at the same time and I was too intimidated to say hi… but great job on your run today! For my reward for my 10 miler my hubby is taking me to yogurtland. Can't wait!

Amylee

11 mile run today- ran hard and did it at an 8:25. Felt awesome. However, I felt even MORE awesome after I came home refueled, and hung out in the bath for a half hour. Now I get to look forward to putting my babies down for a nap and taking a nap myself. I love Saturdays!

Natalie Cates

My team (TN) not going to make it, but Memphis did just win…so maybe there is a chance for a local team. Everyone needs to watch out for BYU – they may be the dark horse!

I like sourdough bread, but ciabatta rolls are the best!

Daniel eats everything I cook, even all my healthy concoctions, but he really loves it when I make homemade manicotti. He also LOVES the chocolate oatmeal cookies you let set in the fridge. :)

My Saturday workout: taught 60 minute zumba class, then did 35 minutes of core. Hopefully getting in at least a short run this afternoon since the weather is nice. Does dancing with my friends count as a workout? I think so!

Have a great super LONG long run! That is so great that you can get out for 24. It will be a BIG confidence boost!!I love sourdough too..but can't seem to master it at home. Always too chewy, or crunchy.Tonight I will hit the bike for a short ride and get up early tomorrow for a much longer one (I hope. I can't believe you regularly choose to ride the bike! :)

Jen

Sourdough is my favorite bread of all time! Last week I found Asiago Peppercorn sourdough at Trader Joe's and I'm in love! As soon as little man wakes up from his nap we are heading out to TJ's and that bread is at the top of my list :)

Mallory

That yogurt looks soooooo yummy. I need to get a treat like that sometime soon. I don't really follow March Madness but if Ole Miss is still in, then go Rebels! If not, anyone but LSU! :) Today my workout was a 3 mile fartlek, followed by tons of machines at the gym. I planned a 5 mile tempo run but I increased my miles again this week and was feeling sluggish so rather than getting injured I cut it short and had more of a fun run.

Dorry

Hope you had a great run! We rode our bikes all over Dallas today for a bug St. Patrick's day parade/party. Believe it or not, I score big points when I make Billy smoothies in the morning. He loves them but doesn't like to make them himself!

Pamela

I just love how you let everyone know about fitness, but also about your love of food and the importance of eating! Good, bad or other, LOL. Healthy eating and nutrition are important, but too many people get fixated on not eating, working out and then having a combo of air and fruit.

You go on with your bad self and with every darn yogurt topping there is!! I'd be right there joining you!

Well Saturday's already long gone here (I'm in Australia — it's now almost 5pm on Sunday!), but my Saturday workout(s) was a 1.5 hour ride + 1 hour of intervals on the crosstrainer + some upper body strength work.

Foods that get my major props with the manfriend = steak, pavlova, anything involving the 4 Bs (butter, brussel sprouts, broccoli, bacon). oh and he just generally loves me because i keep the freezer well-stocked with ice cream at all times :)
